Short Christmas Poems About Jesus
- “The Light of the World” by Phillips Brooks:
He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found.
- “O Little Town of Bethlehem” by Phillips Brooks:
O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.
- “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” by Charles Wesley:
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Hath appeared the heavenly Word! Nature in a manger lies; But the Word, who all things made, Was Himself not made, but stayed.
I hope these poems bring some holiday cheer to your celebration of Jesus’s birth. Merry Christmas!
Long Christmas Poems About Jesus
- “The Coming of the King” by Christina Rossetti:
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead, Love incarnate, Love divine; Worship we our Jesus: But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token, Love be yours and love be mine, Love to God and all men, Love for plea and gift and sign.
- “The First Noel” by an unknown author:
The first Noel the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel!
- “O Come, All Ye Faithful” by John Francis Wade:
O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant! O come ye, O come ye, To Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, Born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
I hope these poems bring some holiday cheer to your celebration of Jesus’s birth. Merry Christmas!
